Gypsy Rose Blanchard Announces Separation from Husband
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who gained notoriety for her role in the murder of her mother, revealed through her private Facebook account that she and her husband Ryan Anderson have decided to separate. The announcement follows her release from prison just three months ago, after serving seven years for her involvement in her mother's death.
High-Following Social Media Accounts Deleted
Shortly before the separation announcement, Blanchard took a significant step by deleting both her TikTok and Instagram accounts, which had garnered a large following. This decision came after she had amassed millions of followers on her social media platforms.
Conviction and Release from Prison
Blanchard was convicted of second-degree murder for her mother's death, which occurred in 2015 at the hands of her then-boyfriend. Her story served as the inspiration behind the Hulu mini-series, "The Act." After serving seven years of a 10-year sentence, she was released from prison on December 28th.
About the Crime
The crime was committed by Gypsy Rose's then-boyfriend, Nick Godejohn, who claimed to have acted at her request. This request came after Gypsy Rose discovered that she had been a victim of child abuse, having been falsely led to believe that she suffered from severe illnesses. Godejohn, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to life in prison.
The Relationship with Ryan Anderson
Blanchard met her now-estranged husband, Ryan Anderson, while she was serving her prison sentence. Their relationship flourished, leading to their marriage in July 2022. However, just six months after their marriage, they have decided to go their separate ways.
Blanchard's Statement
In a statement obtained by People magazine, Blanchard shared, "People have been asking what is going on in my life. Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayo. I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this. I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now I need time to let myself find... who I am." This announcement came as a surprise to many of her followers and the public.
Previous Comments on Marriage and Social Media
During a January interview with Entertainment Tonight, Blanchard had expressed affection for Anderson and discussed their plans for the future, including the possibility of having children. She had also highlighted the importance of starting their marriage on a solid foundation before considering expanding their family. However, these plans have now been overshadowed by their separation.
Impact of Social Media
Blanchard's decision to delete her social media accounts came after she expressed her desire to live authentically and free from the pressures of social media. Her accounts had millions of followers, but she chose to distance herself from the public scrutiny and live her life away from the spotlight.
Advice from Parole Officer
It has been reported that Blanchard took the step of deleting her social media accounts at the advisement of her parole officer, as a measure to avoid potential violations that could lead to her returning to jail.
